Varuthapadatha Vaalibar Sangam - VVS - VPVS - Movie Review - 2.75/5




The film kicks off with its hysterics right from frame 1! You will not have a problem even if you bring your brain to watch this one It leaves a smile on your face at many places. The comedy, the one-liners, the reactions, mannerisms of the Soori-SivaKarthikeyan combo make this one a rock-steady entertainer. The songs make for a very good listen too, with some pulsating choreography! The cinematography has got to be the most colourful of 2013.

Sathyaraj stands as a strong pillar throughout the film, his screen presence second to none regarding veteran old heroes who do character roles now. Every dialogue of his has that tinge of "nakkal", the reason our audience love him! His 4 side-kicks are a bit of stereotype again, but still bring in the necessary laughs. Soori does not appear to be imitating Vadivelu. He has his own style of timing and he has also got the flair for bringing in the laughs at regular intervals. SK is at his best again, playing to only his strengths. The other man who has defined the rating for the film is Director Rajesh, and his dialogues! Few EPIC ones crop up from nowhere!

But still, why a low rating when there are so many positive points? The all-important screenplay fluctuates and lingers here and there... this makes VVS a lazy watch indeed. Doesn't matter in having such a film every 4 months. But it got highly repetitive this year! KLTA, KBKR, Desingu Raja, Pattathu Yaanai, all were mediocre to say the least. They more or less fall in the same category of "time pass comedy"! Seriously, they have become even b-o-r-i-n-g as the time has passed. But still, VVS is the better of the lot, and you will not regret a watch.

The sensitive topic of honour-killings has been used in such a simple and light-hearted way without hurting anybody's feelings Kudos to the director for executing the issue very well.

That is all I have to talk about this film, nothing much in it!

Please SHARE this review, if you think it deserves one!
